Seite 287 - Sea, and what exclusive rights in the seal fisheries therein, did Russia assert and exercise prior and up to the time of the cession of Alaska to the United States?
Seite 272 - The joyful and the sorrowful are there; men are dying there, men are being born; men are praying — on the other side of a brick partition, men are cursing; and around them all is the vast, void Night.
